HEIC to BMP - Free High-Quality Converter
Convert HEIC to BMP instantly with our online tool. Whether you're working with iPhone photos or batch processing HEIC files, our converter transforms them into universally compatible BMP format-free, fast, and with no installation required.
What Is HEIC?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the default photo format on modern Apple devices. It's based on the HEVC codec (H.265), allowing high-quality images to be saved in smaller file sizes. Though efficient, HEIC is not widely supported by older software or non-Apple systems.
What Is BMP?
BMP (Bitmap Image File) is a raster graphics image format used to store bitmap digital images independently of display devices. It is widely compatible with Windows software and image editors. BMP files are uncompressed, which preserves exact pixel data-ideal for simple, high-fidelity graphics or raw image work.
Why Convert HEIC to BMP?
- Universal compatibility across all Windows platforms and image editors
- Lossless image quality for precise pixel-based graphics
- Offline access and editing in legacy or native apps like MS Paint
- Better integration with embedded systems, firmware displays, or printing systems
Who Needs HEIC to BMP Conversion?
- Developers working with embedded systems or Windows applications
- Designers needing raw pixel data for UI/UX mockups
- Educators converting student-shared iPhone images into editable Windows formats
- Archivists needing uncompressed visuals for storage
- Office workers transferring iPhone photos for legacy app usage
How to Use the HEIC to BMP Converter
- Click the Upload button or drag your HEIC file(s) into the drop area
- Optional: add a filename prefix (e.g., "projectA_") to batch label outputs
- Click Convert and wait a few seconds
- Download your BMP file(s) directly or in a ZIP if multiple
Batch Conversion Supported
Upload multiple HEIC files at once. Our tool processes them in bulk, auto-generating downloadable BMPs, neatly organized and zipped when needed. Perfect for quick photo libraries or mass formatting.
HEIC vs BMP - What's the Difference?
| Feature | HEIC | BMP |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Yes (HEVC) | No (Uncompressed) |
| File Size | Small | Large |
| Compatibility | Apple ecosystem | Windows & all major systems |
| Ideal For | iPhone photo storage | Editing, development, archiving |
| Transparency | Partial | None (unless using alpha hacks) |
Advantages of BMP Format
- Exact pixel representation without compression artifacts
- Easy parsing in low-level programming environments
- Legacy software support (Windows 95 and newer)
- Used in embedded devices and system firmware interfaces
- Preserved color detail at full 24-bit or 32-bit depth
File Name Prefix - Stay Organized
Add a prefix like "invoice_", "event_", or "clientX_" to every file converted in the session. This helps organize bulk images, manage downloads, and avoid overwrites.
Maximum Upload Size
Each HEIC image can be up to 100 MB. You can upload up to 50 images per session. Converted BMPs may be larger depending on resolution and color depth. Ensure sufficient storage space when converting batches.
Security & Privacy
Your files are processed in real time and never stored. We use temporary memory-based processing-everything is deleted after download. You retain full privacy and data security.
Compatibility with BMP Files
Converted BMPs are compatible with:
- Windows native apps (Paint, Paint.NET)
- Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, CorelDRAW
- GIMP, Inkscape, IrfanView
- Development libraries (C++, Python, SDL, etc.)
Common BMP Use Cases
Embedded Display Interfaces
BMPs are often used in bootloaders, firmware GUIs, or low-level display systems because of their easy-to-read structure.
Offline Editing Without Compression
Since BMPs are uncompressed, every edit and save cycle doesn't degrade the image like JPG. It's perfect for offline edits across sessions.
Programming & Game Development
BMPs are the go-to choice for early rendering stages in 2D game development and debugging texture maps because of their raw format simplicity.
Printing and Archiving
BMP files are excellent for raster printing or archival use where image integrity matters more than file size.
